288: SECOND OF FOUR BLOOD MOONS TONIGHT

Tonight there will be another lunar eclipse. This will be the second blood moon that promises to be bigger and brighter than the first. Each one of these four blood moons occurs on sacred Jewish Holy Days. This particular lunar eclipse will coincide with the rising of the Sun. In some areas of the world it will be possible to actually see the sun and the blood moon at the same time. A very rare occurrence. In Salt Lake City, the eclipse will be from 3:18 a.m. to 6:32 a.m., being full between 4:27 a.m. to 5:22 a.m. MDT.

"Long before astronomy disclosed the vastness
of space, or the brilliant birth of the new stars along with the ominous
presence of devouring black holes, men and women look at the dark star encrusted
vault of the heavens and drew inspiration from that vision. One of the images
arising from the contemplation of the night sky is the contrast of the
innumerable points of light with the heavy blackness upon which they seem
suspended. A dark bowl or lid seems to cover our world and closing us in
oppressive opacity (darkness) yet this inverted sphere is riddled with specks of
light that are easily imagined as perforations in the black veil hinting at
boundless worlds of light from where the light of the stars proceeds." Stephan Hoeller, Gnosticism: New

if ye will repent and return unto me with full purpose of heart."
